Step 2. Create association of Great Budget with GBF files
If, despite the installed application, the GBF file does not start in the Great Budget application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GBF file with the Great Budget application.
Step 3. Update Great Budget to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Great Budget program, it is possible that Great Budget Fringe Definition requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Great Budget Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GBF file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the GBF file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GBF or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GBF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GBF files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GBF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Great Budget Software help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GBF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the GBF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GBF to close. However, some background programs may block the GBF file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
